century

I currently have a 2000 Buick Century Limited with the usual 3.1 V6. A few months ago my mechanic noticed the coolant was cloudy, but thought it was from old age since Dexcool gets discolored with age to my knowledge. There was also a milky oily residue on the coolant cap, and the coolant was...

I watched a few videos on how to replace my lower ball joints for a 2000 buick century and I was just wondering if I would have to grind and drill out rivets or if that is only for some models and not others. I do not have the tools nor the patience to grind and drill out rivets and was just...

Hello thanks for reading. I need help with my 98 Buick century v6 3.1 engine approximately 150xxx miles on her. First off, i had the inevitable lower intake gasket leak.. I had a friend replace it for me but he did a horrible job to say the least(he didn't torque anything!) When starting the...

I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed the gas pedal in the 2001 Century is a little stiff and responds heavily to minimal depression of the pedal. I'd like to know if there is a way to alter the sensitivity of the gas pedal, kind of like modifying trigger weight in a handgun. If possible, I...

The trans in my 2001 Century needs changed, I found one for $300. I am not able to do the job myself, because no room where I live, but garage says they will do it for around $350 in labor. I was just wondering if before the transmission I buy goes in if I should put new solenoids in it?

My Fellow Buick Lovers, My Colleagues and Friends I'm having trouble with my 1989 Buick Century Custom 3.3L It stalls when you accelerate, at first I could drive a couple days without it happening but now its impossible to drive it down the street without it turning off. Most of the time after...

I have a 2001 Century that seems to only want to move in 3rd gear. A garage which doesn't specialize in transmissions said I need a new transmission. I am not sure if it would make it to a transmission shop and back. I know it has the 4T65E in it and was wondering if any 4T65E would work in...

Hi! I'm new to the forum. After over twenty years of owning Dodge/Plymouth vehicles (with one Mazda in there under very similar circumstances), I find myself the proud owner of a 1999 Buick Century. The arm rest doesn't latch anymore, and the cup holder is in pieces in my trunk. But hey, it's...

Ok. So I just acquired a Cent a month or so ago. It has a 3.1 and less than 140k miles. I just replaced a leaky radiator. But a few days ago, it started having erratic idling. Getting higher and lower etc. When I drive it, it smoothes out and isn't noticeable. While replacing the radiator today...

I'm new to the Buick forums, so here we go. I haven't been able to find any previous threads about this, but with my 2001 Buick Century Custom, I replaced the infamous quartet of 150k ohm resistors to (attempt to) repair my down-and-out PRND321/Odometer. As I was reinstalling the cluster, there...

I recently became the owner of a 1999 Buick Century Limited equipped with ABS brakes. A few days ago I noticed that the BRAKE light on the dashboard (the one which goes out after you release the parking brake) was staying on after I released the parking brake and started driving. I have not...

Hello i have a 2000 model Buick century and i am having issues with my reverse lights. I have tried to replace the neutral switch by the transmission and that didn't help. I cant seem to find any broken wires and if you wire up the lights to a power source they come on. Just wondering if anyone...

So after hitting a couple potholes, which are almost impossible to avoid in RI this year. My car started smoking, I thought just burning engine oil, but it smelt like rubber, not oil; Upon further investigation my driver side rear, I think strut, is sitting on top of my tire. My other side...

In case anyone cant tell from my username, I am on a quest to make my 2002 Buick Century fast. I was looking at Chevy's crate engine to swap into it and was kind of wondering what would fit. To be honest, I don't have any mechanic skills and I have no clue what other changes I wold have to do to...

So I've searched quite a lot for this information and I'm still not finding what I need. Basically I replaced 2 brake lines on my 2000 Buick Century Limited. When trying to thread the other line into the abs pump it will not thread all the way in because the threads became trashed taking the old...

I live in Los Angeles and am looking for someone who, for a fee, could attach a new passenger side mirror for me. I still have the original's casing but the mirror glass popped out while I negotiated--poorly, obviously--a narrow parking lot entrance. To my relief the glass didn't break so I...
